Experts talked to each participant of the competition, finding out details of developments.

Active work was carried out also in the context of St.Petersburg partneriat - 2015: small enterprises «Nano-networks», «NanoPharm», «Nanoscan», «GIS-consulting» conducted meetings in matchmaking system with potential business-partners.

The Head of Directorate for innovation and production activity O.Y. Derbeneva participated in international conference-program of partneriat, which considered different aspects of resolving crisis problems by small and medium enterprises: new opportunities of approaching a market of Finland; export as a new driver of enterprisers’ economic growth; intercluster cooperation; international and interregional сoopetition. Development of these directions was considered through the prism of activity of just created Regional intergrational centre in Saint Petersburg.
